Appellate Advocacy

There are very few attorneys in Tennessee who specialize in representing clients on Appeal. The lawyers of Farrar | Wright, PLLC are widely known as leaders in this field.

We represent individuals and businesses in civil, criminal and domestic appeals before the Tennessee Court of Appeals, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals, the Tennessee Supreme Court, and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Appellate Advocacy involves specialized skills that take years of practice to hone into a craft. There is arguably no one in the State of Tennessee with more experience and involvement with Tennessee Appeals than Amy Farrar.

Farrar clerked for the Tennessee Supreme Court, writes appellate advocacy articles for local and State bar associations, presents continuing legal education seminars to other attorneys on the appellate process, has served as Chair or Co-Chair of the Nashville Bar Association’s Appellate Practice Committee since 2007, has served as the Chair of the Tennessee Bar Association’s Appellate Practice Committee, and has represented dozens of clients before Tennessee’s highest Courts, including several landmark Tennessee Supreme Court decisions. She is also the Assistant Editor of the Appellate Practice Handbook, a detailed guide, published by the Nashville Bar Association, for attorneys needing assistance navigating the appellate courts in Tennessee.

If you have a case you feel is worth pursuing or defending on appeal, contact Amy Farrar, an attorney with a proven track record before Tennessee’s appellate courts.

Insurance Disputes

Insurance is supposed to protect you, your business, or your family during the most difficult times. Whether it is the loss of a loved one or a natural disaster, individuals rely on their insurance company for relief. But who do you turn to when the insurance company denies your claim? Farrar | Wright, PLLC represents businesses and individuals who have been wrongfully denied payment for losses that should have been covered by their insurance policies. Depending on your need, we assist in all aspects of dealing with your insurance company from making the claim to communicating with the adjuster to reviewing your policy for coverage and finally, to pursing litigation if warranted. Our experienced attorneys have worked with homeowners when natural disasters have occurred including fires, tornadoes, hail, sinkholes and other natural disasters and worked with individuals after the death of a family member.

Your home or business is one of the biggest investments that you make during your lifetime, and we understand how important it is to you. We are ready to protect your rights against the insurance company that fails to provide coverage or denies coverage on legitimate claims. We can help ease the stress of dealing with the insurance company and will work hard to make sure that you receive coverage when your policy requires it.
